We did not push any doomsday narrative; we reported the facts.

The White House changed the rules for how agencies receive their appropriated budgets, limiting the NIH's access to its Congress-approved funds for 42 days and slowing down new awards. The data speaks for itself.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

[Jordan Zirm @JordanZirm]

I am always fascinated by people who place the burden of survival on everyday civilians, rather than the armed officers pulling up to their communities unannounced in unmarked vehicles and masks

[julia @eathedocument]

a woman is expected to remain completely calm as armed white supremacist thugs try to forcibly open her car door but an ICE agent is allowed to panic and shoot someone in the head three times from a foot away because he “felt threatened”

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

they are flexing that they’re tirelessly fighting to starve the working poor!!! 42 million americans! 18 million children. what the fuck?!

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

This is not the way. Especially if a person is condemning violence, they shouldn’t be targeted for their speech.

A recent and important commentary in AJP from my beloved colleagues at PRIME-CHE:

There’s lots of good reasons, but one of the most important is when we punish children for their parents’ choices, like denying them food if their parents don’t provide it, it destroys our humanity and makes monsters of us.

It makes me really sad some of you need that explained.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

This is actually a good example of low effort consent manufacturing. The NYT isnt commenting on objective reality (a mayoral candidate can somehow prevent a mass shooting) but how It Will Play. The NYT is simply guessing as to the optics. And by doing so they… create the optics!

[five eyes blind @RosasCatMimi]

How are things going to work in a few years when there is a major shortage of skilled and experienced people in every field because we decided we don’t need junior people in any field?

[noah kulwin @nkulw]

Corey doesn’t know anything about anything. If he did, he’d know that famine doesn’t just descend immediately; it takes time for food stocks to dwindle and for the starvation to creep up. THATS WHY PEOPLE CALL IT OUT BEFORE THE WORST HAPPENS YOU UNBELIEVABLE MORON

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought.

Unlike NYPD officers, your agents don’t identify themselves, wear masks that cover their faces, and have no badges. And now they ignore Immigration Judges’ rulings, too.

What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

[Mike Drucker @MikeDrucker]

We’re not “losing” shit. We broke it intentionally. This wasn’t a solar flare that knocked out our satellites. This was us taking a machete to an advanced weather system because some dumbfucks thought it was going to own the libs rather drown their families

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

“The NY Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”.

"all the news that's fit to print" aka story about how a guy from Africa who is Asian said so on his college app to a college where his dad worked, and to which he did not get in — sourced to an anonymous right-wing race realist.

NYT readers respond to the newspaper’s big scoop about the Democratic mayoral nominee

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨 NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has officially detailed the torture he endured inside El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison.

In a federal court filing, he says he:

– Lost 31 pounds in two weeks
– Was forced to kneel for 9 hours straight
– Was beaten with boots and batons
– Had no mattress, no bathroom access, and no windows
– Was told: “Whoever enters here doesn’t leave”

Now ask yourself: Why is this model being praised by Trump-aligned officials as a “solution” for crime in America?

NGL "I, an extremely rich guy, sat down two candidates for public office and told them I'm going to decide which one of them is going to drop out and get all my money" is basically the cartoon version of the argument for why having extreme wealth inequality is bad for democracy
